High hopes had they all of the pleasures and honors which would be theirs after they had proved themselves worthy in the sight of the rulers of that far-off land. Long was the distance and rough was the path which they had to follow. Finally they reached their destination and were admitted to the coveted realm by two massive gates. Behold, after they had entered the gates, they saw pitched there the tents of three other great tribes, who had come before them. Queen Mary, daughter of Gold, who was to be ruler of this new tribe, summoned them to a place of landing at the top of a high hill and there they stayed during 1914. It was an established law of the place to give to each tribe a name, and unto the new one was given “Freshmen.” When all people were gathered together it became known, to the sorrow of the Freshmen tribe, that they would not be given their rights and privileges until they had been duly initiated. Long did the poor men plead of their elders to be released from the terrible ordeal, but no pity was shown them. Oh, Fortune! thou art to be praised because thou alone gavest unto them the strength to endure the great trials and tribulations of climbing trees, being dropped into green paint, and lastly finding their way back to the native tribe after being led many miles into the wilderness in absolute darkness. Shortly after the arrival of the new tribe King “Parm,” the sagacious ruler of all the tribes, appeared and spoke with such a thunder-like voice that many fainted and some came nigh unto death. But it came to pass, that he was kind to all of his tribes except when he was called by some of his underlords to put down a riot, and then he dealt with right good justice. The rules of the land of knowledge were many. The most important was roll call, which was taken every morning by Queen Mary. Yea. those who failed to appear were subject to two hours of difficult concen- tration of their minds after the rest were dismissed from their daily tasks. Queen Mary called several meetings of the fair damsels and she said unto them: “Thou shalt not go about with thy sleeves rolled up, nor appear with anything on thy face but pure talcum powder.” But in spite of all of the strict rules of the king and his attendants many of the members of the tribe survived. When the year of 1915 came the tribe was ready to be moved from the place on high to one lower. Then, behold the name of the tribe was changed to “Sophomore.” They now had such business to attend to that they needed leaders. So a council was held in which Philip, the son of Stewart, was appointed leader. Mildred, the fair and mild daughter of Bunce, was to take charge of the council when Fhilip was absent. Curtis, the heir of the house of Willson, was to take a record of such events as were important to the tribe, while Katherine, the tall and honest daughter of Schafer, was given charge of all gold and silver in the vaults. The tribe prospered under the rule of Duchess Sdunek and Queen Beardsley. The beginning of the third year of their sojourn in the land soon came. On September 5, 1916. King Parmelee said unto the tribe under the name of “Junior,” “Pick up thy tents and chattels and march to the bottom of the hill.” Here the Juniors settled down for two years under the rule of Queen Harriet, the kind and watchful daughter of Mudge. Because of the mysterious disappearance of their leader. Philip, Howard, the sturdy son of Loss, gained control of the council meetings. This Papre fifty-six official declared that he must have helpers in order to do justice unto his work. So the Zar of Rumbold and Dorothy, the beautiful damsel of Howe, gave assistance unto him. Then trouble came up about the large sum of money which had to be levied. At last Lois, the ambitious daughter of Baker, was appointed to go about the tribe and force the natives to pay their honest debts. A hard task had she, but she raised much silver. Howard, son of Loss, called a special council meeting one night toward sundown. He said unto his listeners in commanding tones, “Work not so hard. Thou canst not live without some enjoyment.” A party was then given to the king and his attendants and also to the Senior Tribe. Then King Parmelee and his helpers planned examinations. His under- lords announced one day that all persons having a standing of 90 per cent, could escape those terrible visitations providing they could live up to three commandments: (1) Thou shalt not appear after the tardy bell rings. (2) Thou shalt not absent thyself more than three times during the semester. (3) Thou shalt not skip school. Many times members of the tribe were seen running as they had never run before and also appearing with yellow slips in their trembling hands for skipping school. However, many lived through these days of agony and were ready to organize the new tribe. In due time it happened that under the name of “Seniors” the people could look down upon the others as they had formerly been looked down upon. Although these people were the busiest of all the tribes they took an active part in athletics and social affairs. George, the great athletic son of Willson, was elected leader of this prosperous tribe. Luella, the faithful daughter of Galliver, assisted him, while Irene, the dark-eyed daughter of Stark, took notes of all the council meetings. Harold, the fair and tall scion of the race of Kilpatrick, acted as chancellor of the exchequer. At one time the members of this tribe were not prompt in paying their debts, which gave much trouble to this minister of finance, so Lois, the daughter of Baker, who had already known much, even more than was pleasant, about the debts of the tribe, was appointed to assist. As the year drew to a close all members became anxious and care- worn and probably would have withered away from study had not Scarth of Inglis presented his many jokes and often asked these people many alluring questions on the subject of love, which they confessed to know nothing about, but were glad to give candid opinions. Withal when the final judgment day came, and the roll was taken, many out of this band of pilgrims had gone to the end and had proved themselves worthy to abide forever in the land of knowledge. (Written and sealed by the great seal of the class of 1918.) MILDRED BUCKEL. Historical Recorder. c L Pasre fifty-seven Pasre fifty-eigrht FAMILIAR FACES Silence, deep and impressive, hung over the walls of the renowned Sistine chapel. The traveler, somewhat awed by the historical associations of the place, wandered up and down, ever gazing at the magnificent ceiling with its beautiful paintings. Time had dealt gently with them, and their once brilliant colors were now softened to dull blues, greens, or grays. Now, in the midst of the aisle, the traveler paused, and viewed the representation of the Cumaean Sibyl. The goddess was gazing intently at a huge volume. Tales of the prophetic power of this Sibyl thronged through the mind of the traveler. Dreamily she gazed, when lo! The Sibyl suddenly raised her eyes from the book, and turned their frenzied look upon the astonished observer. The lips parted and these words came forth in a voluminous tone: “O, traveler from America, the land that’s far o’er the sea. I see thou art wondering in thy heart whether these things truly can be, That I can foretell what things will befall any of whom you may ask, For I know the fate, the fortunes of all,—for me ’tis an easy task. In days of old, when Rome in full sway—a queen ruled o’er every nation; Full many a wanderer paused on his way seeking aid in meek supplication. Now let thy fond wish uttered be; for knowledge of whom thou dost yearn, Ask of thy friends living over the sea, e’en of them thou mayest learn.” Trembling with fear, yet anxious and keen, the traveler spoke with zest, “To know the future of the class of ’eighteen is surely my greatest request. The class of ’18 of old Flint High, all Michigan hails her with pride; A class that will do—is willing to try,—B- is her motto, her guide.” As the suppliant ceased the Sibyl sought her book again, turning over its ponderous pages. At last she paused and in a chant uttered these words: “Men will hear of great George Wilson, football player of repute, See his face in every paper; not one will his fame dispute. Luella Galliver, studious as ever, will climb the heights and reach success. Tho a philosopher famous and clever—she will marry nevertheless. Lester Eldridge, an astronomer, will make discoveries—but, oh, so slow— For he cannot study the stars at night! unless in the delightful role of a beau! Donna Hall! fair Donna Hall! what a triumph she would have made! Cupid! thou hast caused the fall, a marriage trap for her thou laid. Among the surgeons—the army’s pride—great Bruce Williams will preside. Gently tending the wounded one’s side, stemming the flow of life’s ebbing tide. Ethel Mercill—blithe as a fairy, known o’er the world as a movie star. Ethel says she will never marry—life as a movie is best by far! I’ll tell you now of Harold Kilpatrick, a lawyer, wealthy as well as wise; He’ll bring up arguments astounding—-things unseen by other’s eyes. Vilena McDonald and sweet Ailiene Cooke will be suffragists of con- sequence. All difficulties these fair ladies will brook for ‘equal rights’ is their defense. Dyke Brosier and Wilford Mason will manufacture ‘B. M.’ cars— [ ] Page fifty-nine While Merle McCormack and Harold Matteson. in their own aeroplane will explore great Mars. Out midst the thickest fighting Agnes Hough will hold full sway_ Help the wounded—calm the dying; many will bless her name each day As a writer of verses, amoristical kind, John Ferenz will be noted some day; And gallants will pore o’er the works of his mind, expressing their love in his way! Little Miss Marsden. with her school for boys, contented always will exist. For fair Lena will share in their sorrows and joys and will do for them what they list. In a florist shop, as a tender of flowers as busy as a bee in its hive. Dwells energetic and gentle June Powers, as happy as any alive. William Teuber. earnest and steady, will work his way to a general’s rank; With his help he will ever be ready, tho anxious to flee when man would him thank. Thelma Boughton—efficient professor—will teach a science in old Flint High. Those who take from her their lessons must know the 'wherefore and the why.’ A famous critic—calm Isabella Famam—regarded by many as the best Ah! woe to the writer of little incentive when Isabella puts him to test!

Page sixty-three Page sixty-four CLASS POEM Like the roses shed their beauty, Like the candle leaves a crown. Like the river flows into the sea. Like the forest sheds its gown. Just like them is our H. S. life. The class of T8 prepared for strife. The spinner of time has woven Many threads about our life, Made a web for each one’s future, Of pleasure, sorrow and strife. The field of life stands now open, In this world each one has his place. He does his bit for all mankind, Regardless of station or race. We have what we want for the taking, From those who do daily their share; We must give in return to our nation Our best, which we know is just fair. Time has flown fast these past years, Since our school career we begun; We’ve had hard work and pleasure a plenty; May they not be in vain or for fun. Destiny does cast all mankind, Like the wind casts the seed o’er the land; To survive is their instinctive motto, So with us will it be that have sand. May the future be happy and joyful. Our ideals may the heavens redeem; May our friendship never wither— That’s the makeup of class of ’18. JOHN H. FERENZ. CT [ Patfe sixty-five THE DEATH OF QUEEN DIDO ’Twas night! Sweet slumber hovered o’er, And bathed each heart with balm. The wild waves softly lapped the shore, 'the whispering trees were calm. The golden moon rolled on her way, Now half across the sky. And all the land in soft sleep lay, None but the birds were nigh. Gay-plumaged ones went swooping by To haunt the shimmering lake; O’er thicket-tangled fields they fly, A flashing trail—their wake. Then lulled to sleep beneath the night, All cares are put to rest. Forgetful of their fear or plight, Men dream amid the blest. Then Iris bathed with shining dew On golden wings sped on, A thousand changing colors flew, And glanced against the sun. Then she of life the queen bereft, And cut her golden hair; The glow of life her temple left, And mingled in the air. EDITH JENSEN. CENTRAL’S WAR BIT We have given our share, As the time came around; And are still willing to give As the chances are found. We gave to the Red Cross, The Bond and the Stamps, And knitted for Sammies That are in the camps. We’ve bought Smileage books. Though they were but few; We’ve done our best also For Tobacco Funds, too. And we get much pleasure To think that by chance Our help brings bits of heaven To our soldiers in France.

Loss Zar Rumbold - John Ferenz Ethel Mercill Harold Matteson Mildred Buckel Wilford Mason Anita Prout Edith Jensen Louise Patterson THE WAR AND OUR SCHOOL There are only a few people in Flint who have heard of the splendid work that the F. H. S. has done for the war. The pupils have responded generously to every appeal which has been made to them. The enthusiasm started with the Three-in-One Campaign, which was followed by the Red Cross drive. The school had a fine showing; besides the monetary help, many girls worked in the Red Cross rooms. When the Liberty Loan drive came on the school still kept its record and even the classes bought bonds. Smileage books were sold in the school and many took these. At last came the Thrift Stamp drive. Only one other school in the city (the Oak Street school) stands between us and the head of the list. The campaign is not yet finished and we may yet capture the honors. The war means give until we have no more to give, and as we are go.ng to make the world safe for democracy we all must follow this example, which the F. H. S. has so nobly set. Come. then, let’s on to liberty. Give, give, keep giving and by our giving “can the kaiser.” [ Pace sixty-eight EDITORIAL—Continued A PLEA FOR OUR TEACHERS There has been a great deal of talk and commotion lately about raising the teachers’ wages, but still nothing has been done about it. Why hasn’t it? You who have plenty and are getting along in the world without having to think where the next ten cents is coming from and whether it will have to go for dinner or some other necessity of life, don’t realize how the teachers have to scrimp and save and plan. You say it is their patriotic duty in these perilous times to teach, without any immediate increase. Do the groceries, meat markets, dry good stores, etc., consider it their patriotic duty to sell things without a raise of prices? It is your patriotic duty to help boost the teachers’ wages so that you may keep the splendid ones you have in order that they in turn may help your sons and daughters to be patriotic. Then did you ever consider all the one hundred and ten things that a teacher has to buy or give to? Football, basketball, baseball tickets, Prospectus tickets. Red Cross, Smileage books, Thrift Stamps, Belgian relief, Liberty bonds. Liberty societies, French babies, and a thousand other things, and if she does not do this she is branded “slacker.” “tight- wad,” and “old stick.” Now, then! Let’s all work our very best and keep working until we release these prisoners from the small, mean, paltry wages that they are getting. Flint is leading the United States in Red Cross, Liberty bonds, Belgian Relief, and all other works. Let’s not have to be ashamed of the wages we give to our teachers, but all get in line there, too, and assure them a civilized competence. THANKS The editorial board wishes to thank all those who have in any way contributed to what modest success this book may attain. They are especially grateful to Miss Lilian Gold, Miss Mary Seymour, Miss Harriet Mudge. and all members of the faculty who have helped us in any way. We also wish to thank all the students and especially Gerald Wallace. Irene Sheick, Robert Thompson, Dorothy Durham. Genevieve Covert, Lois Baker, Neva Knapp and Delia Campbell. A PLEA We, the editors, ask all to read the advertisements and patronize the merchants who have so kindly contributed to make this book a success. □ Page sixty-nine Pajfe seventy SNAPPY SNAPS MISS LILIAN GOLD cruelly imposes wild and strange theme-subjects upon her amiable and long-suffering pupils, hoping for some gratifying returns. The following theme written by Miss Irene Ellis is well worthy a place in this august magazine. TO MY PENCIL To look at you one would not be impressed with your beauty or see in your yellow form any cause for inspir- ation. But to me you have become an invaluable com- panion with whom I would be loth to part. When I some- times tire of being a stranger and would like a few kindly glances in the halls, instead of the cranings of curiosity I hold on to you all the more firmly and feel that you are as staunch a friend as one could hope for. You never murmur under the harsh treatment to which I often sub- ject you. In spite of the fact that you are forced to spend the night in a cold, iron-barred desk with only musty books for companions, you are always on hand to appear, bright in colors and anxious for service, in the morning. Once you were borrowed and much to my vexation were detained for a whole day, thru the negli- gence of your foster-mistress. The substitute I had for you was not pleasant and I felt greatly relieved on finding you in your usual place the next day. So it is with sorrow, my loyal companion, that each day I see your form gradually shortening and I like not to think of the time when I will be forced to replace you by another. Page seventy-one The debating: team this year has met with many difficulties but has overcome them all. They had several practice debates with small schools and suffered a glorious defeat at the hands of Bay City Eastern when she came to Flint. But when we were the visitors at Arthur Hill we brought home the laurels. Flint has challenged several other large schools but could not obtain dates with them. Mr. Inglis has worked hard and faithfully with the members of the team and much credit is due him but as he says “I didn’t do it alone for they all worked harder than I did.” [ Pasre seventy-three DEBATING TEAM HIIIH IIIMItl IHMIllilltriMI I Hllltlillil.lllllllllllllllllllllHl.i SENIOR-JUNIOR PARTY The Seniors strove hard and succeeded in making their party to the Juniors one of the best ever given. Friday evening, December 8. was the night chosen for the great event. The hall was decorated with flags, palms and flowers, and a service flag with three stars was hung at one end of the hall, showing how many boys of the Senior class had volunteered to serve their country. Ferneau’s orchestra furnished the music for dancing and a very interesting program was given in the early part of the evening, consisting of “Prelude in C Sharp” (Rachmaninoff), by J. Fercival Davis. Miss Florence Barrett, who has danced at our parties previously, was most graceful and pleasing in the dance which she did for us. A reading, “Si and I,” by Miss Juanita Buecking, who responded to an encore; next followed a quartet by Harold Kilpatrick, John Acker- man. Harold Taylor and Roy Blanchard, but for some unknown reason we failed to hear them. Laurence Pichey gave several violin selections, and G. Oscar Bowen, our musical director, sang and was encored. Cards and other games were enjoyed by those who did not dance. JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY The members of the class of ’19 entertained the class of ’18 at a most enjoyable dancing party at St. Paul’s parish house on May 10. The decorations were very beautiful and decidedly unique. The letters “Junior” and “Senior” were cut in gilt and hung from the balcony and the two class pins were placed at one end of the hall. Ferneau’s orchestra occupied a palm-covered pagoda at one side of the hall and furnished excellent music for dancing. Pape seventy-four SOCIETY—Continued The entertainment committee provided a splendid program. The numbers consisted of a reading by Miss Juanita Buecking. a tambourine dance by Miss Clark, and a cornet solo by O. Kellogg. Throughout the evening lemon ice and wafers were served. Dancing ceased promptly at twelve. The seniors departed acknowledging that the party had surpassed their fondest hopes. CHORUS RECITAL The concert which was given by the Flint High School chorus December 20, 1917, was not only a social success but was a financial one as well. The proceeds went to the Junior Red Cross to help them to do their bit in this terrible war. There occurred a slight mishap when a section of the seats collapsed, carrying a few down with it. However, no one was hurt and the concert proceeded. SENIOR FLAY AT GOODRICH On April 27 the Senior class repeated their play, “The Private Secretary.” for the benefit of the Red Cross. The play was witnessed by a good-sized audience and proved a success throughout, the Red Cross clearing about $55.00. Page seventy-five An enthusiastic audience greeted “The Private Secretary,” presented by the Senior class in the Majestic theater Wednesday, January 23rd. “The Private Secretary” is a clever play and was exceedingly well staged by Mrs. I. M. Eldridge. The parts were well chosen and it was apparent that the preliminary training was thorough. The success of the play was due entirely to Mrs. Eldridge, who devoted the greater part of her time to it the three and one half months preceding the play, and was able as a re- sult to make it such a wonderful success. To her the faculty and the class of eighteen extend their sincere thanks and deep appreciation. MRS. I. M.

On Liberty Loan day, April 6th, all the Cadets turned out for the parade and then went to Athletic park and watched the maneuvers there. The following Monday, April 8th, about 20 went to the North Baptist church and gave the manual of arms for a benefit they were having. The Cadets acted as an escort to the drafted men who left Flint after having been rounded up on April 23. On May 11 the Hoover club parade was given here in Flint, and the Cadets participated in it. The entire corps went to the Majestic theater on May 6th to see Gerard’s “My Four Years in Germany.’’ At the time of this book going to press no other dates have been made, but probably the corps will turn out for Decoration Day. and Flag Day.

Dawn I awoke with a start and a pain at the base of my brain as I heard the voice of Ko San calling me according to my orders so that I might see the sunrise. I found that a wooden pillow and straw mats for a bed were not conducive to good sleeping. I arose, stretched, and pushing back the partition, stepped into the garden. The light mists were just beginning to float up in airy spirals of mauve gauze, and as I wandered down the winding path, the sun’s rays touched the tree-tops. An overpowering fragrance, pungent and pene- trating, filled the air, and as old Sol rose higher and higher he turned the garden into a living paradise. Gorgeous poppies flamed next to quiet jasmine. Yellow narcissi nodded to themselves in the mirror-like surface of the little lake. Distorted shadows were thrown by the dwarf trees across pagodas that were banked with white lilies and flaunting tiger flowers. I wandered farther into the labyrinth and strange birds darted across my path with shrill cries and calls. Suddenly I stopped spellbound. The path led across an arching bridge which spanned a shining lake, and ascending gradually, ended in a feathery mass of cherry blossoms- -light pink and white and rose—in waving clusters, and deepened into a brilliant cerise, as the sun’s rays fell across them. The mountains in the distance looked like painted hills, so still and quiet were they. A bell tinkled and the pattering of little feet, accompanied by a small voice calling me to “blekfast.” made me turn away. Morning After breakfast of rice, tea and thin wafer-like bread, I called Hi Hop, my “ricky” boy, and started for the shore. We flashed past hedges and hedges, with now and then a queer shaped gate which disclosed charm- ing vistas of flowers and trees. We encountered only a few people, with loads upon their backs going to market. Arriving at the shore. Hi Hop drew me slowly up the sandy beach, and we soon began to meet other jinrikishas with coolies dressed like mine in light blue short trousers, sash, shirt, and an inverted mushroom hat. Rounding a sudden curve, we came in sight of the wharves. All was activity and bustle. Shrill cries and hurried gestures, accompanied by a never-ending flow of men, women and children loading boats made it fascinating and interesting. The queer vessels lying low in the water, with triangular sails and manned by coolies, were darting here and there, managed with such wonderful dexterity that although the bay was crowded with them, there were no accidents. If a swinging boom knocked anyone overboard he only laughed and was pulled in, dripping and grinning. As soon as one boat touched the wharf it was loaded with bales and bundles and moved on. only to give place to another, in a constant stream. They moved away and after the last boat was disposed of the people departed, chattering and talking, for their mid-day meal. I instructed Hi Hop to take me home and when I arrived found that Ko San had prepared an Oriental dish of rice, spices and meal, which with tea and fruit comprised my luncheon. Afterward I retired to my room, which was pleasantly cool, as the sunlight filtered through the paper walls. Afternoon After a short nan I called Hi Hop again and ordered him to take me to the shopping district. We soon were threading our way with hundreds of others through the gay crowded streets. Banners of red, Page ninety blue and yellow inscribed with black characters announced to the initiated the goods of their owners. All the people were gay and happy, while little slant-eyed Japs went merrily along with shining faces and light hearts, and men wended their way among the crowd with trays of sweets and little cakes. There were shops with open fronts, where quaint jewelry and pottery were displayed for the benefit of the tourist’s eye. Here silks and brocades of gorgeous hues were hung up to better show their beauties. I rode slowly along, admiring all the wonderful coloring and enjoying the bustle and gaiety, finally asking Hi Hop to take me to Yen Sen’s tea house. So we turned aside from the busy streets into quieter ones, until we reached the entrance. Passing between rows of trees, we arrived at the place, and I alighted and went within. Yen, him- self. met me with an obsequious bow, and desired my “wishes to let him know.” I informed him that I wanted tea and to see the Geisha dance; so he, with a clap of his hands, summoned a small maid, who curtseyed and took me into a room where mats were laid upon the floor. Sitting down on one, she motioned for me to do likewise, which I did with difficulty. This accomplished, she clapped her hands twice and two girls dressed in bright kimonos came in, bringing the tea. A small tray on legs was placed before us and upon it were put teapot, lemon, cups, saucers, chopsticks, and two bowls of rice. My smiling companion poured the tea; then once more clapping her hands, called the Geisha girls. They came in a line, each with almond eyes, white teeth, hair piled high on their heads, gay kimonos and fans, and began to dance. It was an odd dance, with no sinuous, nor yet no awkward motions; never hurried, never graceful, and never making a mistake. They nodded, bowed, turned, pointed, walked, returned, furled and unfurled fans, and finally with a little curtsey retired. At its conclusion they all came back with white teeth glittering and bowed once more. I rose, paid Yen, and regaining my jinrikisha, ordered Hi Hop to take me to Sing Hee’s for dinner. Evening We stopped at the end of the line and waited our turn to come to the door. I alighted, ordering Hi Hop to wait near by. He grinned, bowed and moved away. The dining room was modeled after one in an American hotel as far as furniture and table settings went, but here the resemblance stopped. The walls were hung with brilliant tapestries embroidered in gold and silver. Huge palm-like trees stood in the corners and were banked around the place, where a Japanese orchestra played in weird minor keys. Hanging lamps with shades fashioned in unusual shapes and of wonderful colors made the light subdued, yet radiant. A dinner of sea foods, peculiar meats, potatoes, with abominable coffee and fruits, with relishes that are found nowhere except in Japan, was enjoyed by me. The American guests sitting around seemed to be enjoying themselves, too. After dinner was over I lighted a cigarette and strolled out into the gardens. The paths were lighted by lanterns and it was a vision of fairyland, with aisle after aisle of trees, heavy fragrance of flowers, gayly dressed people, and softly shaded lights twinkling and flashing among the heavy foliage. I wandered up and down, suddenly coming out upon a balustrade that overlooked the sea. The moon was shining up above with extraordinary brightness and the scene was charm- ing. The ocean was deep, deep blue-black-green, spangled with silver. The breakers rolled upon the white beach with a soft swish-swash and broke into myriads of diamond points as the foam glistened in the moon- light. Out in the path of the moon a small boat glided by, and at my feet stretched the white sand like a silver ribbon far into the distance, losing itself in the sheen of the sea. r Page ninety-one ««l Mtrvll ATHLETICS Papre ninety-two c ] ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Gerald Schultz Katherine Knickerbocker Bruce Strong President Vice President Sec.-Treas. Mr. Inglis Mr. Fields Mr. Pratt Coach ELECTION The annual election of the Athletic Association was held as usual at the beginning of the second semester. There were three offices to be filled, each of which required considerable time and responsibility. The election was not as bitterly contested as some previous ones, although the votes were close. To fill the office of president, Gerald Schultz was chosen, and with the co-operation board, is progressing wonderfully and making things move. Upon Katherine Knickerbocker the final weight of vice-president settled, and Bruce Strong was the victor in the secretary-treasurer race. During the past year Mr. Inglis was chosen to succeed Mr. Correll and Mr. Myers has taken Mr. Paul Field's place as coach of all high school athletics, as Mr. Field enlisted in the ordnance department of the United States army. With Mr. Myers back next fall a very bright outlook in athletics is apparent, and with the help of the school Flint will again be on the map in athletics. Page ninety-three Patre ninety-four Early in September Coach Ike Field called for football candidates. Among those re- sponding were Holmes. Willson, Blanchard, Ackerman. Williams, Taylor, Mason and Lavender, all victims of previous experi- ences. FLINT, 46; LAPEER, 0 After two weeks’ practice the squad went to Lapeer de- termined to start the season with a good record. Central proved to be far superior in all phases of the game, the line opening large holes whenever called upon, while the back field tore through the Lapeer line for big guns. Willson. Acker- man. Holmes and Taylor proved to be the big men of the day, as they could be depended upon to carry the ball and to break up the plays directed against us. FLINT, 7; GRAND RAPIDS, 26. OCTOBER 6. The game wih Grand Rapids proved to be one of the best of the season, although we were forced to take the short end of the score. The visitors had a team composed of veterans and all state men and outweighed Central fully ten pounds per man, but with a scrappy line and a powerful backfield Grand Rapids was held to a low score. The backfield. although lighter than their opponents, made many brilliant gains. Ducky Holmes caused the visitors considerable trouble, as he was always in their way. FLINT, 6; DETROIT CENTRAL, 26. OCTOBER 12 Central went to Detroit and again displayed much pep and scrap, this time against a championship team. Captain Williams lost the toss and we kicked to Detroit. Holmes nailed the man after he had gone ten yards, and after much pounding Detroit scored the first touchdown. Detroit kicked at us and with the ability of the backfield we returned with a touchdown in the same period. Detroit now put several new men in the lineup and began pounding our line. They were held for downs several times, but succeeded in scoring again. In the third period Flint succeeded in getting on Detroit’s three-yard line, but was penalized for holding. Thus another touchdown was grabbed from our reach. When the final whistle blew the ball was on Detroit’s thirty-yal-d line and in Flint’s possession. FLINT, 39; BAY CITY WESTERN, 0. OCTOBER 20 Bay City Western came here with a team more nearly our size. Central proved far superior, which can be seen by the score. In the first half several of the subs were used, the half ending 7 to 0 in our favor. In the second half the regulars were put in and things began to move. The backfield was very aggressive, and the interference was very good. Willson went through Western’s line for long gains, while Taylor and Holmes did exceptionally well at circling the ends. The line worked to perfection, opening holes whenever called upon. CZ-- I c Page ninety-five FOOTBALL —Continued FLINT, 49; FENTON, 7. OCTOBER 7 Fenton brought a husky bunch of corn-crackers here to give Central a little practice. We were'entirely out of their class. During the first five minutes of play Fenton scored on a fake play. This was the starter. Central scored four touchdowns during that half and three during the next. The backfield gained continually on off-tackle smashes. FLINT, 6; ARTHUR HILL, 7. NOVEMBER 3 This was just a hard luck game. Central gained four times as much ground as Arthur Hill and was continually in the Saginaw boys’ territory. Willson and Holmes repeatedly hit the line for five to ten yards. When the first half ended we had one foot to go. During the first half we got a little shot of pep, and in the second half we fought harder than ever. During this half we were continually in Saginaw territory, but could not score. Although we did not defeat Arthur Hill, they went home a rather battered looking bunch. FLINT, 0; BAY CITY EASTERN, 13. NOVEMBER 10 Because of injuries incurred in a previous practice we lined up against Bay City Eastern with three regulars out of the lineup, which was felt considerably, as the score indicates. Central was obliged to will the game to Bay City, emerging from the lawyer’s office 13 points behind. FLINT, 2; SAGINAW EASTERN, 28. NOVEMBER 17 Central’s team, with about 100 rooters, went to Saginaw to give the strong Eastern team a battle. Flint was outweighed about ten pounds per man, but nevertheless they put up the finest brand of football that could be expected from a light team. In the third quarter Holmes speared an Arthur Hill man behind our goal, giving us the only points which we obtained during the game. Saginaw secured her scores on passing. FLINT, 7; PONTIAC, 6. NOVEMBER 24 Pontiac sent a husky bunch to give Central battle. Their team fully out-weighed Central five pounds per man. During the first quarter it was a see-saw affair, neither team being able to get the ball down the field. During the second quarter the Pontiac boys scored a touchdown on a fake play. From this point on to the end was one of the hardest fought battles ever staged in Flint. Each team tried all styles of plays, but none of them seemed to go. Finally a pass from Willson to Ackerman ended in a sensational run by the latter, thus giving Flint at least a tie game; but our husky little booter decided that we should win and kicked the game with just one minute left to play. FLINT, 13; ANN ARBOR, 7. THANKSGIVING In the last fray of the season and encouraged by a large crowd of rooters and by our success the week before, we were all set for a good scrap. Central had her regular lineup on the field. The game started off with a whiz. Both teams were evenly matched, but during the first quarter Ann Arbor scored a touchdown. Later in the same period Holmes slipped through with the pigskin, thus giving us an even chance. From then on until there was about five minutes left to play neither team scored. Ann Arbor was on the five-yard line and was forced to punt. Central broke through, blocked the punt, and Taylor carried the ball over for another touchdown, thus winning one of the peppiest football games ever staged here. Page ninety-six VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM Soon after football sea- son closed a call for basket- ball candidates was sent out, about thirty fellows respond- ing, several of whom had had some previous experi- ence, and who put Central back on the map in basketball FLINT, 19; ARTHUR HILL, 9. After two weeks of hard practice we opened our 1917- 18 schedule with a whiz. Arthur Hill came here with good intentions, which were soon changed. Central got started early in the game, scoring several points before the visitors got started. In the second half the game be- came a genuine rough and tumble affair, but still Cen- tral showed her superiority, finally ending victorious with ten points in the lead. FLINT, 34; PORT HURON, 26. JANUARY 19 The Flint Central squad went to Port Huron, where they very easily defeated their opponents. Although we were handicapped by a slippery floor we played the Port Huron five off their feet, shooting baskets from all angles. During the second half the Flint squad got their team play started, which resulted in several field baskets and gave us an easy victory. FLINT, 23; SAGINAW EASTERN, 18. JANUARY 25 Saginaw sent a team composed mostly of veterans to worry the Central squad. During the first few minutes Saginaw scored a few points, but Central got her team play started and thus ended all danger until the last few minutes, when the Saginaw boys took a spurt and added several points to their collection, but it was too late. When the final whistle blew Central was five points in the lead. FLINT, 17; BAY CITY WESTERN, 38. FEBRUARY 1 The Central squad went to Bay City with high hopes, but they were soon changed, as we had to play on the small floor at the Y. But with the help of all the score was kept down and we only waited until we met them at home. FLINT, 28; BAY CITY EASTERN, 40. FEBRUARY 9 Bay City brought a very strong aggregation to Flint, but nevertheless the Central squad started off with a rush, scoring 15 points before the visitors got started. But our play slowed up and the visitors forged ahead and kept at a safe distance during the remainder of the game. Osborne, Blanchard and Willson played their usual strong games, breaking up much of the visitors’ team play. Basketball Captain Roy Blanchard Page ninety-nine BASKETBALL—Continued il FLINT, 24; YPSILANTI, 22. FEBRUARY 10 The Central squad came back strong Saturday and defeated Ypsilanti in a fast and exciting game. Captain Blanchard finished his athletic record at Central, emerging from the dust of battle with 12 points to his credit. This game affords a basis of comparison between Flint and two other strong teams, Kalamazoo and Detroit Central, both having been beaten by Ypsilanti earlier in the season. FLINT, 31; ARTHUR HILL, 22. FEBRUARY 16 The Central squad went to Saginaw after much remodeling. Central’s teamwork proved to be much superior to that of Arthur Hill. Everything worked to perfection. In the second half Flint opened up and Willson, Taylor and Mason filled up the basket while Osborne and Cuthbertson watched the other end of the rink. The winning of this game placed us in second place for the valley cup. FLINT, 51; M. S. D„ 18. FEBRUARY 22 This game was rather a one-sided affair from start to finish, Central taking the lead early in the game and tossing baskets whenever they desired. The only excitement was a little prize fight now and again on the side. Osborne and Mason were as usual disqualified on fouls, while Taylor, Willson and Cuthbertson rang up baskets beyond record. FLINT, 37; SAGINAW EASTERN, 26. MARCH 1 The Flint team journeyed to Saginaw, where they took part in a fast and exciting game. Willson and Taylor worked to perfection, making baskets from all angles. Occasionally Mason would slip one in, while Osborne and Cuthbertson were always in the way of the Saginaw for- wards. As the score indicates, we had no trouble defeating this team. FLINT, 27; ANN ARBOR, 29. MARCH 2 On March 2 the Central squad journeyed to Ann Arbor, where they expected to play a strong team, which was composed of five men instead of six. which they found to be the case. Soon after the game was called Central took the lead and held it until the last quarter, when the sixth player, who happened to be carrying a tin whistle, began calling unmade fouls on Flint, and in this manner we were obliged to take the short end of the score. FLINT, 33; BAY CITY WESTERN, 23. MARCH 8 This was a game which will long be remembered by all those who saw it. When the game was called everyone was excited and impatient as to the outcome. Central started the scoring with two field baskets before Bay City got wound up. The remainder of the half was a see-saw affair, ending 12-15 in favor of the visitors. In the second half Central came back like a whirlwind, scoring 18 points before Bay City got started, and then for each basket the visitors scored we scored two. FLINT, 31; BAY CITY EASTERN, 35. MARCH 15 This was one of the hardest games of the season. We had to play on a small floor and with no rooters compared with Bay City. During the first half the game was close, neither team being able to take a big lead, and both working as hard as possible. During the second half Central took the lead, but was finally defeated by a very small margin, thus cutting us out of the race for the championship, although Central had the best representation in basketball it had had for several years. FLINT, 30; ALUMNI, 28. MARCH 15 This game was the last of the season, but the not the least exciting as the Alumni had a very strong aggregation of experienced players. The score was close, and with but two minutes left to play Central forged ahead, winning by a hair’s breadth.

Practice has been held twice a week during school hours and consequently more joined than would if it had been held after school, making about 250 voices. Mr. Bowen has worked hard and deserves credit for the showing that he has made. As to the orchestra work Mr. Bowen was dis- appointed. There was hardly anyone who would take this work up and so the orchestra has not made the progress that the chorus has. Pane one hundred seven It is well known that General Pershing, at the head of the American expeditionary forces in France, made the following brief speech at the tomb of LaFayette: “LaFayette, we are here.” The junior classes of Miss Lilian Gold, not able to visit the grave of the great man, have nevertheless paid an eloquent tribute also—a generous subscription for more than $35.00 for the Food for France fund. Without noise, without advertise- ments, without haggling, did these pupils turn their pockets inside out. May it not be that somewhere from the Land of Shades, the kind eyes of Washington, LaFayette, Lincoln and many others are smiling affectionately down upon these young patriots? Miss Mary Gold acknowledges the truth of the statement that the girls and boys in her room have not bought so many Thrift Stamps, invested at compound interest and payable to themselves, as the pupils in the upper classes; but she says that she is proud of their generosity nevertheless. During the school year just closing they have given as follows: The Salvation Army Fund____________________________$12.00 The Soldiers’ Recreation Fund______________________ 13.50 The Food for France Fund___________________________38.50 The Smilage Book Fund____________________________ 12.75 Italian Relief (Roman History Classes)_______________23.45 Junior Red Cross_____________________________________30.00 Miss Gold loves these cheerful givers. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Filled with admiration for France in her heroic struggle for liberty, the French classes of the Flint High School formed “Le Cercle Francais,” that they might become better acquainted with the French language and literature. The first act of the new organizaion was to raise a fund of $72.00 for the support of a French war orphan for two years. Raymond Colin was adopted, of Jonvelle Haute Saone, aged four and a half.' The Cercle Francais consists of “Le Grand Cercle.” et “Le Petit Cercle,” the former being composed of honorary members, while the latter is made up of the members of the Senior French class and three highest in scholarship chosen from each of the other classes as follows: Mary Davison, Dorothy Winchester, Mabel Richard, Dorothy Snook, Frances Stewart. Lorene Dawson, Aagot Jenson. John Pontius, Margaret Prout. The following officers were elected: President, John Pontius; vice- president, Edith Jensen; secretary. Gayton Newcombe; treasurer, Mary Hubbard; scribe, Donna Hall; general committee, Irene Stark, Dorothy Winchester, Harry Eiferle. one hundred eight TEACHERS’ WAR WORK-Continued Miss Carr’s sewing classes have been devoting part of their class periods to Junior Red Cross work. The first semester they made three dozen pajamas and two and a half dozen convalescent robes. Besides this the girls knitted many sweaters, scarfs, socks and a quilt. The second semester they kept up their knitting and made three dozen Belgian dresses and a dozen knitting baskets, which were sold at the Junior Red Cross. “LE CHAMEAU” 1 Tartarin a camel had. It was a funny beast, It followed him where’er he went, Avec son air si triste. 2 This bothered him, le pauvre homme, C’est ridicule, n’est-ce pas? He tried to dodge set animal. “Va-t-en!” he cried, “Q, Va!” 3 Just when he thought he’d lost the beast, (His heart now beat pele-mele), He looked, et qu’ apercoit-il la? Le chameau, si fidele! 4 Alors! II dut se resigner. He took it to Algiers; Why not? Cette noble bete had shared His joys and, too, his tears. Envoi A lesson we may learn today From Chameau si fidele. So persevering let us be. Like this good old camel. (With apologies to Mary and her little lamb, after reading Tartarin de Tarascon) —Donna Hall f J Page one hundred nine Darkness fell from the wings of night and settled over the River Styx, whose ceaseless current rolls between Hades and the planet Earth. Aged Charon was snoozing in the bow of his ancient skiff. Suddenly r.is eyes flew open in a stare of amazement. Some teachers’ shades were impatiently waiting to be ferried over the stream. When Charon rowed up they were whooping and dancing and other- wise mildly expressing their delight at leaving their schools behind. The entire corps of the Flint High School piled into the frail bark. When almost over, Miss Baker wanted to try her swimming prowess. “Let us swim the rest of the way,” she urged. So saying, she leaped overboard and fell dix-ectly into the arms of Neptune and his daughter, Annette Kellerman. Before disembarking the shades remarked: “By the way, Charon, if there are any schools over there let us go somewhere else.” Charon reassured them. He was. however, quite dissatisfied with the measly little tip he received until he reflected: “Teachers are under- paid and always die poor.” A curious crowd awaited their arrival on the other side. Shades of our ancestors! What sights met the eyes of the newcomers. There were the ruffs and frills of Elizabeth’s time, the panniers of 1776, the hoop skirts of 1860, the scant widths of 1910, and the sport skirts of 1917. After Mr. Parmelee had patted Cerberus on one of its heads he stepped over to Pluto’s throne and said: “I should like to make a few announcements. There will be a teachers’ meeting at 4:10,” adding scathingly, “not 4:30. Any teachers who cannot get there by that time kindly signify by flapping their wings.” Mr. Wellwood was immediately claimed by Pythagoras, who was expounding a new torture for high school students. “Wie geht’s, Fraulein,” cried Goethe, rushing up to Miss Sdunek, and at that moment Victor Hugo claimed Miss Williams’ attention, asking eagerly: “Parlez-vous Francais?” Mr. Inglis struck up a quick acquaint- ance with Archimedes. They chatted pleasantly about the displacement of water until Sir Isaac Newton butted in with some remark about the laws of gravity. Scarth’s gravity was disturbed when Archimedes inquired: “What would be the weight of the water displaced by a freshie’s brains?” The shades were astonished to hear Caesar saying to Miss Lewis: “Amo-------,” while Cicero entered into animated conversation with Miss Straughn. Miss Lee soon took a position with John Jacob Astor as expert book- keeper. He needed someone to straighten out his accounts, because when he “passed in his checks” on the Titanic he had invested in watered stock. Out rushed Euclid and grabbed Miss Mudge by the hand. “Y, how are you?” asked he. “I’m Xhausted,” she sighed. “I’ve been cramming those dry propo- sitions of yours into the hollow heads of pupils. Don’t you z?” Miss Armstrong and Miss Bidwell wandered around, stumbling on the cori’ect method of solving ax2 -f- bx 4- c = o, under which was buried “The trouble that caused the death of many students.” Every one of the shades turned envious eyes on Miss Lilian Gold when (what do you think?) Billy Shakespeare walked over to her. “Come,” said he, linking his arm familiarly in hers, “Macbeth and Mark Antony are crazy to meet you. Let us hasten in to dinner. I fear the nectar a nd ambrosia may be getting cold.” A severe, Puritanical shade, wearing dark goggles, approached Miss Fuller and said playfully: “Let us trip it as we go on the light fantastic A SHADY GATHERING—Continued toe.” She eyed him timorously, thinking that he was a trifle “fresh.” until Macaulay, coming forward, reassured her: “Surely you remember John Milton? Recall that pleasant little essay of mine about him that gave your fifth hour class such delight?” Gibbon and Hume immediately monopolized Miss Seymour and Miss Mary Gold. As they passed along Gibbin remarked: “Would that I might return to earth to write: ‘The Decline and Fall of the F. H. S.’ Some little excitement down there now, isn’t there? I have been told that there will soon be a new building to replace the fallen one. Every day Charon brings more from there and, in fact, we’re almost full over here; but of course,” he added, gallantly, “we will always make room for teachers.” Just then Noah popped his head out of the ark. “See here.” he shouted to Messrs. Harma and Best, “I want this ark remodeled and made into an up-to-date bungalow. Did you bring along any nails?” Mr. Best pulled a saw from his pocket and whistled gleefully: “Just tell them that you saw me, But you didn’t see me saw.” Mr. Pratt looked around for something to do. Espying Hercules and Spartacus talking to a dozen or so gladiators beyond in the “back lot” of the Elysian fields, he sauntered over and mentally sized them up. “Fair material for a lineup,” quoth he. “Rather think they could beat Detroit.” Thereupon he called Form, B-l, 1-2-3 and blew his whistle. Such a scrimmage as ensued! Hercules in all his twelve labors had never come up against anything like it. While they were tearing up the grass the Greek god Pan alighted, weeping, from a monoplane. “How can you destroy my beautiful lawn?” remonstrated he. “Why make a playground of the choicest grass of the Elysian fields? Cannot each shade play in his own back yard?” Mrs. Pluto was very cordial to Miss Carr and Miss Towne. “My dears,” said she, “with nectar so expensive and ambrosia eight dollars a bushel, I can scarcely make ends meet; but they tell me that you can put up a spread for thirty-five cents a plate. My last year’s dress is frumpy. Here is a fire and brimstone range and there are sewing machines. Eve and Venus are coming over this evening and I should like them to sit up and take notice.” Burbank rushed up and grabbed Mr. Burns and Mr. Voorhorst, ask- ing if they had discovered any new way of growing corn. Tennyson elbowed his way through the crowd and introduced Sir Galahad to Misses Ballard, Owen, Halsted and Becker. “Will you go with this young man?” asked he, “in a search of the Holy Grail?” (Would they? What a question when such a good-looking fellow as Galahad was going along!) “Do,” said Miss Thompson, as she was chatting with Schiller, tell —” “You mean William Tell, don’t you?” interrupted he. Miss Des Jardins had just offered Schiller a piece of molasses candy that she had brought to keep her from getting seasick on the trip over. “What is it made of?” he inquired. “Maid of Orleans,” she replied. Orpheus now began to play on his lyre (for even in the Elysian fields there are liars) to accompany Mr. Bowen, who was singing “Home, Sweet Home.” At this point all the Flint shades pressed around Charon, urging him to take them back to the “Good Old Town,” but the River Styx—black, bottomless—rolled swiftly on like a monstrous snake, squirming and struggling from side to side, eternal—an impassable barrier. r ' i c Papre one hundred eleven CAMPUS SCENES Page one hundred twelve f© WHOM IT MAI CONCEIH (With Apologies to Lincoln) Two score and five years ago our city school board brought forth in this city a new high school, conceived and dedicated to the proposition that all students were to be housed decently. We are now testing whether this building can long endure (which we don’t think it can.) We are face to face with the last school month. We have come to graduate the seniors as a final send-off to those who here gave their time that these pupils might pass. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot educate, we cannot graduate the “bone-heads” of our school. The smart ones, hopeful and happy, who struggled here, have been educated above our power to add or detract. The world will little note, but long remember this, as this building will forever remain here. It is for us, the seniors, rather to be graduated here and finish the work which the teachers who taught here so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here educated in order to undertake the great task before us, that from these honored teachers we take increased inspiration for the life-work to which we should give our full measure of devotion; that we seniors highly resolve that these teachers have not taught in vain, that this high school, under the principal, shall have a new set of seniors, and that this public school of the people, by the people, and for the people shall perish as soon as possible from this city.

Holmes: Well, I don’t blame it; it is terribly overworked. Mary Hubbard: I want a dress to wear around the house. Clerk: Well, about how large is your house? A derrick can be used for other things than serving soup. Grace Putnam: What’s the tallest building in the city? J. Ferenz: Why, the F. P. Smith building; it has nine stories G. Putnam: Exactly, but look at the library. Harold Taylor will now recite that old familiar balled, entitled, “Many a good dog named Sport has been killed with his foot on the third rail.” Also that ode of by-gone days, entitled, “Many an iceman gets a cold shoulder now and then.” B. Strong: Wait a minute, Miller, I left my watch upstairs. Miller: Well, never mind, leave it there, it’ll run down. A. Prout (at Mercer’s) : A Hershey, please. Clerk: Five or ten? A. Prout: One! M. Buckel: That puddle over there makes me think of an Irishman. G. Covert: How’s that? M. Buckel: Because it’s riley. Bob Brown (translating Caesar) : I will be shot. Mary Grace Gundry: Good! Mr. Wellwood: Children, are you laughing at me? Whole Bunch: Oh, no. sir. Mr. Wellwood: That’s strange; I can see absolutely nothing else in the room to laugh at. 6 ■ u (£ivinK examples showing the position of “E” and “I” with E ) : L-I-C-E, lice, keep that running through your head and you will make no mistake.

RECIPE FOR FLUNKS Take a string of bluffs, stir in one pound of thin excuses, add a few parties, sift in a little time for athletics, add a dash of late retiring, and top with an X. “BETTER” We know, of course, 'tis often best Our true thoughts to conceal; Better a laugh that is a bluff Than a sigh that is too real. New Yorker: One of our new hotels, Roy, contains twenty-five hundred rooms. Roy Knight: Gee crackey, I’d hate to be the bellboy. WAIL OF THE SENIOR PRESIDENT The Saddest words of tongue and pen: Too many women and too few men. ] Page one hundred seventeen Freshman: Will you please tell me a subject to debate on? Miss Mary Gold: Resolved that boys are more obedient than piris. Freshman: I don’t like that. Don’t you think the Irish question would be a good one for us to decide. Miss Gold: Undoubtedly you will be able to do it as the English Parliament has been trying to since the reign of Henry II. AMONG THE NEW DANCES The Oliver Twist. The E. P. Roe. The Watermelon Wiggle. The January Jerk. The Angle Worm Glide. The car came to a sudden stop and a strap-hanger, losing his balance, found himself seated on a young lady’s lap. She became indignant and said: “Sir, what kind of a gentleman are you?” “I’m a Laplander,” he innocently replied. A WATERLESS POEM APRIL 1-12 Water, water everywhere, But not a drop to drink. Water, water everywhere. And how our throats did shrink. Water, water everywhere, Even in the high school sink. W'ater, water everywhere, And now it’s on the blink. Water, water everywhere, But still not a drop to drink. —Irene Stark. H. McDonald: W’hen I get to heaven I’m going to ask Shakespeare if he really wrote those plays. G. Newcombe: Maybe he won’t be there. H. McDonald: Then you ask him. “A HUNGRY WOODPECKER” A woodpecker lit on a freshman’s skull. He bored and bored till his beak was dull. At last in despair at the end of the day He gave it up and flew away. The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that spanks the kid. It’s the tooth-brush that hurts. United we stand, divided we separate. The path of Peary leads but to the pole. In onion there is strength. If you can’t cut down your expenses, increase your income. Where there’s a will there’s a funeral. Page one hundred eighteen Chamberlain (proudly) : My mind is my memorandum. She: Oh, I see, sort of a blank book. Mr. Wellwood: Nov, boys and girls, I’ll explain the proposition. Look on the board while I run through it. ON THEIR HONEYMOON He: Honey, you have done me a grievous wrong. Vilena: Why, George! He: I never ought to have married you at all. Vilena: Oh, George! He: Because if your should die you have made it impossible for me to live without a wife. Vilena: Why, George! He: And you have made it im- possible, honey-bunch, for any other wife to suit me. Vilena: Oh, George! STUDENT FORMULA The behavior of the students varies inversely as the square of the distance from the teacher’s desk. THE PROPER THING Mrs. Newcombe: And when Frederick asked you if he might kiss you I hope you treated him with proper scorn. Alletta: Of course I did. I just turned up my nose. A DIRTY ONE Mr. Inglis told the class that capillary action was in a way ab- sorption, and asked Miss Ferguson to give an example in washing dishes. She said: The water absorbs the dirt. If you can’t laugh at the jokes of the age, laugh at the age of the jokes. IN THEIR SLEEP “They say Boggs is crazy on the subject of golf, and his wife is equally crazy over auction sales.” “Yes, and the funny part of it is they both talk in their sleep. The other night a lodger in the next flat heard Boggs shout: ‘Fore.’ and immediately Mrs. Boggs yelled ‘Four and a quarter.’ ” Wilford Mason: I ah er— um—- Jeweler: Bring out that tray of engagement rings, Henry. Douglas MacD.: How’s the world treating you? H. Loss: Not very often. SOME TIME! Parm: You’re suspended for the term of three months. J. Rice: I will be dead if 1 hang that long. Helene Taylor: And you have never loved any girl before me? H. Kilpatrick: Of course not. Not before anybody. Did you take a berth last night? I had to get up before I went to bed. How’s that? I had an upper berth. Verna Horrigan: Wouldn’t you think that Grant would have been cold at Appomatox? Mr. Parmelee: Why? V. Horrigan: Here it says that while Lee wore a suit of warm Confederate gray. Grant was simply attired in a Union suit. ] c: Page one hundred nineteen D.

Dave, what is it?” Martin: “When a man finishes milking the cow how does he turn off the milk?” Page one hundred twenty ] “Have you your book open, Miss Prout?” asked Mr. Inglis one morn- ing in Physics. “Slightly,” replied Anita, who had been so absorbed in reading her book that she didn’t notice Mr. Inglis watching her. “Why is it, Fat.” asked Killey one day, “that you fat fellows are always so good natured?” “Well, we have to be.” replied Eiferle, “we can’t run or fight.” Experience teaches that people seldom hit a man when he is down. They usually jump on him. WHO IS THE GIRL? “Oh. my!” she exclaimed, impatiently, “we will miss the first act. We have been waiting a good many minutes for that mother of mine.” “Hours, you should say,” he replied dryly. “Ours!” she cried joyfully. “Oh, Dyke, this is so sudden.” L. Gold: “Give me a short biography of Florence Nightingale” M. McCormack: “She was born in 1880 and was Queen of Egypt.

EVERYONE KNEW THEY WERE HUNGRY A promising sophomore informs Miss Seymour that the Germans want to set up Poland, Lutherania and Baltic provinces as buffet states. Holmes: I asked if I could see her home? Buck Howard: And what did she say? Holmes: Said she would send me a picture of it. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; Where my mental ability won’t carry me My pony must. Freda Wineman: I had two articles in the paper yesterday. Thelma Zinc: Is that so? I didn’t see them. Freda: No, they were a pair of shoes I was taking to have fixed. She smoked just one—no more. You bet she calls it now a sickarette. He: Vanity cases are getting much larger this year, aren’t they? What’s the idea? She: Vanity cases nothing. That’s my knitting bag. History Teacher: Mr. Knight, can you tell me what the term “Knight of Bath” means? Roy: Saturday night, usually. SO HAVE WE Fat Eiferle: Doesn’t it seem hard to leave high school? Sam Wey: I should say so. I have often thought it impossible. I SHOULD SAY SO Reo Williamson: The sailor in this story must have been of an acrobatic nature, for it says in the book “that having lit his pipe he sat down on his chest.” Miss Ballard: Were you copy- ing his notes? V. MacDonald: Oh. no. I was just seeing if he had mine right. Miss Lewis (translating Caesar) Tell me, slave, where is thy horse? Bob Brown: Why, I have it here, but I really wasn’t using it. Pete Cuthbertson (on Monday morning) : Where’s that shirt I laid out here? Mrs. C.: Why, I sent it to the laundry. The cuffs were all dirt. Pete: Great guns, there goes a U. S. history exam. Mrs. Brownell: I don’t like the idea of your standing on the steps so long every time Russell goes home. Reo: Why, I just go out there for a second. Mrs. Brownell: The other night I am sure I heard a third or a fourth. Merle Whetham to K. Swayze (at Senior Junior party) : The other boys didn’t care how they stepped on my feet. You just step on them lightly. If at first you don’t deceive, lie, lie again. SURE TEST Miss Thompson: Class, do you understand this problem? No answer. Miss Thompson: Do you. Mr Kilpatrick? Harold: Yes. ma’am. Miss Thompson: Then I guess all do. Miss M. Gold: Give a descrip- tion of the underworld. Fresh (as usual) : I haven’t got that far. She has such an air of refine- ment. Yes, her father is in Standard Oil Customer: Have you any more of those sixteenth century chairs like those I bought from you be- fore? Zar Rumboldt: No, ma’am, they have stopped making them since the war. Mr. Parmelee: Does your wife break many dishes? Mr. Burns: Not any more. I am learning to catch them. H.

Reo: I am not surprised, darling, it would stop a clock. VIOLENT DISAGREEMENT Anita: Aren’t you feeling well? Aileen: No. I ate German sausage and French salad for lunch and they won’t arbitrate. GET THIS Zar: Poor cat died by inches, I suppose. Matty: No. He ran up the street and died by a yard. Ethel was asked to parse the word “kiss” and this was her re- sult: This word is a noun, but it is usually used as a conjunction. It is never declined and is more common than proper. It is not very singular, in that it is gener- ally in the plural. It agrees with me. SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHINGS Teacher: What is the beginning of the twenty-third Psalm? K. Mansfield: The Lord is my shepherd, I should worry. Virnie Chapel: What do you think is the fashionable color for brides? Male Clerk: Tastes differ, but I would prefer a white one. AT THE DANCE H.

Clark Perry: When I don’t go out in company I am so blue, and when I do I get so red because I am so green. EVEN IN SCHOOL Mr. Inglis: Where is the dia- gram of the steam engine that I told you to put on the board? D. Durham: Oh, it’s there, but you can’t see it because it is camouflaged. SOMETHING TO BE THANK- FUL FOR Helene Taylor: Have you read “Freckles?” Hortense McD.: No, thank goodness, mine are light brown. Miss Seymour: Now, you will find an article on this in the last month’s Literary Digest. I wish you would read it. Irene Ellis: I never could get interested in those cook books. INNOCENT FROSH C.

For the business executive it simplifies daily routine, en- ablinghim to carry out his program with least waste time and energy. The farmer urged to produce more has found the owner- ship of a motor car a national duty as well as a personal convenience, enabling him to negotiate distance under all road conditions. In Government work, mine and lumber camp, in cotton field and wherever industrial needs are most strenuous, the directors of the work by the use of motor cars have greatly increased the scope of their service. The Buick Car is a favorite in all lines of action because modern demands are answered by the success of Buick building, its economy of up-keep and dependable hardi- hood in set vice.
